Getting oriented

The IIAS2009 conference is clearly approaching fast. As the days go by, questions to deal with are becoming more and more practical. Currently, among other things, we are working with the details of an orientation guide we will be distributing to all the participants in order for them to find their way around the venue. Our previous customer journey mapping exercise proved to be useful if for nothing else, for sketching this guide! One of the very practical challenges right now for us is to figure out where in our office we will place all the material going to the conference after they are sent to us and before we can take them to the conference venue. My guess is that we will be working in middle of that material for the next few weeks.



This moment in the process is actually very exciting! You start to get phone calls and e-mails from people asking all the different questions and you suddenly realise they ARE actually coming to Helsinki! For such a long time planning of this event has been like planning something abstract which does not yet exist. Now it is becoming real and we all here are very much looking forward to it!
